We have joined forces with Europe’s other leading bioeconomy clusters as the 3Bi intercluster, enabling the region to make the most of new markets and new opportunities from the bioeconomy, in Europe and worldwide. We featured in the Government’s first report on the bioeconomy, raising awareness of the national importance of the Yorkshire and Humber region’s bioeconomy assets. We helped secure funding for the BioVale Project at the University of York, which is providing infrastructure and support services for the region’s bioeconomy cluster. Over 30 bioeconomy businesses, as well as academic and public sector organisations have engaged with BioVale through our Steering Group, Task Group and Special Interest Groups or through MOUs or BioVale membership Over 400 subscribers regularly get the latest bioeconomy developments and opportunities via the BioVale newsletter
Yorkshire and the Humber is an international centre for the bioeconomy, with its exceptional combination of world-class biorenewables research, bio-based industry and innovative agriculture. The region is a centre for world-class research on biorenewables and agri-food technology, including work at the Biorenewables Development Centre, the University of York, and the Food and Environment Research Agency. Bio-based industries in the region include one of Europe’s largest biomass power stations, the UK’s greatest concentration of food and drink businesses, specialist bio-based chemical producers and over 2000 SMEs working in the bioeconomy. Although the region represents only 6% of the UK’s land it hosts 12% of its farmland and over 11 thousand agricultural enterprises. BioVale is the gateway to bioeconomy opportunities across the region including research and innovation partnerships, bio-based businesses, investment and specialist facilities. BioVale streamlines access to the region’s bioeconomy resources, including its world-class science base, demonstration facilities, business support services and funding streams.
